FANNP 23RD NATIONAL NNP SYMPOSIUM: CLINICAL UPDATE AND REVIEW Pulmonary Interstitual Emphysema: (PIE) PIE Management • Single or multiple circular radiolucencies with well- demarcated walls. • May be localized or diffuse. •Prevent! Prevent! Prevent! •Minimize PIP, shorten Inspiratory Time, Reduce MAP. •Positional therapy with affected side down if unilateral. •HFJV or HFOV 55 56 Tension Pneumothorax Pneumopericardium • Always symptomatic with sudden deterioration, especially if on PPV. • May become hypotensive with bradycardia as the high intrathoracic pressure impedes cardiac output. • Prompt relief by thoracentesis or thoracostomy is indicated. • Usually occurs in association with one or more other air leaks. • Rare in the non-ventilated infant. • Muffled heart sounds. • Halo completely surrounds the heart - including the inferior surface. • Symptoms mostly based on degree of tamponade. 57 58 Pneumopericardium Management • Must acutely manage symptoms. • May resolve spontaneously with support of the infant’s symptoms. • Treat with pericardiocentesis or pericardial tube placement - 79% survival. • Conservative management - 32% survival. • 53% incidence of re-accumulation with pericardial taps alone. Reppert, S.M., Ment, L.R., & Todres, I D., (1977). The treatment of pneumopericardium in the newborn, J. Pediatrics, 90:115. 59 60 B07: MANAGEMENT OF RESPIRATORY DISTRESS Page 12 of 23
FANNP 23RD NATIONAL NNP SYMPOSIUM: CLINICAL UPDATE AND REVIEW BPD vs. CLD Definitions •Late Respiratory Distress in the neonate. • “Many experts now believe the term, Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), is more accurate in describing the pathogenesis and that Chronic Lung Disease (CLD) is not a specific diagnosis or description.” (Dr. Namasivayam Ambalavanan, UAB Division of Neonatology). •Use of supplemental oxygen for greater than 28 days after birth. •Use of supplemental oxygen at 36 weeks post conceptional age (predictor of more severe pulmonary dysfunction in early childhood). •Classic BPD follows a course of primary pulmonary failure. •The “New BPD” is described in ELBW infants who may have had minimal or no lung disease (?interference with sepatation). Risk Factors DDx for similar x-ray changes •Same risk factors as for RDS •Chorioamnionitis •Tracheal colonization with ureaplasma •Extremely low birth weight •Symptomatic PDA •Sepsis •Oxygen therapy •Vitamin A deficiency •Family history of atopic disease • Stranding with lymphatic engorgement or atelectasis. • Cardiomegaly if large PDA or fluid overload. • Chronic changes are early and severe if from infection. (R/O myco/ureaplasma pneumonia) Laboratory Findings Management •ABG: CO2 retention. If chronic, pH is usually >7.25. •Electrolytes: Elevated serum bicarbonate from chronic CO2 retention; hyponatremia, hypokalemia or hypochloremia if chronic diuretics; elevated BUN or creatinine if fluid restricted. •Urinalysis: RBCs from possible nephrocalcinosis from prolonged diuretics. •Prevent prematurity! •Reduce exposure to risk factors: minimize oxygen toxicity, minimize excessive tidal volume, judicious fluid administration, timely PDA closure, adequate nutrition. •CPAP shortly after birth with avoidance of intubation and mechanical ventilation. •Vitamin A prophylaxis?
